How to track what features are being implemented

Cloud products

We're continuously improving and updating our cloud products. To see the latest changes that have been or are being delivered to your products, take a look at the Atlassian Cloud release notes blog.

Server products

When a new feature or improvement is scheduled, the 'fix-for' version will be indicated in the Jira issue. This happens for the upcoming release only. We maintain roadmaps for more distant releases internally, but as these roadmaps can be pre-empted by changing customer demands we don't publish them.

How Atlassian chooses what to implement

In every major server release we aim to implement highly requested features, but it isn't the only determining factor. Other factors include:

Customer contact: We get the chance to meet customers and hear their successes and challenges at Atlassian Summit, Atlassian Unite, developer conferences, and road shows.

Customer interviews: All product managers at Atlassian do customer interviews. Our interviews are not simply to capture a list of features, but to understand our customers' goals and plans.

Community forums: There are large volumes of posts on the Atlassian Community, of votes and comments on jira.atlassian.com, and of conversations on community forums like groups on LinkedIn.

Customer Support: Our support team provides clear insights into the issues that are challenging for customers, and which are generating the most calls to support

How to contribute to feature development

Influencing Atlassian's release cycle We encourage our customers to vote on issues that have been raised in our public Jira instance, http://jira.atlassian.com. Please find out if your request already exists—if it does, vote for it. If you don't find it, you may wish to create a new one.

Extending Atlassian products Atlassian products have powerful and flexible extension APIs. If you would like to see a particular feature implemented, it may be possible to develop the feature as a plugin. Documentation regarding the plugin APIs is available. Advice on extending either product may be available on the user mailing-lists, or on the Atlassian Community.

If you require significant customisations, you may wish to get in touch with our partners. They specialise in extending Atlassian products and can do this work for you. If you are interested, please contact us.
